Abel Nippers Worth The Money?

Anyone have experience with the Abel Nippers that in plain colors run about $50? I was also looking at the Loon Nip-N-Sip which does the same thing for considerably less, but not sure as to the quality of the Loon product since I've only used their floatant. I welcome all thoughts and opinions!

Christ, Just buy fingernail clippers. Way cheaper. All they are used for is cutting leader. Unless you want to look like Joe Cool who THINKS he knows his way around a vest. I have so many nippers I have them laying all over my house.

I definitely see your point, but I know the jaws are replaceable which means they could last years. I would rather invest in the best and have them last, then buying 5 shitty pairs in the meantime...just my .02.

They might last years but how many drug store fingernail clippers could you buy for the same?

Ya gonna buy some of those $300 Van Staal fishing pliers too?

Sorry, not my cuppa tea!

Haha my buddy told me the same thing today, however those can't stand up to saltwater worth a damn. But it's just like people who smoke $30 Padron Anniversary cigars, while others prefer a more reasonably priced Fuente...it's preference.

Since I don't fish in the Salt, I don't worry about my nippers. I keep three pairs in my Truck and at any given time I can find none of them. I don't put things back where they belong. I just set them down and forget where I set them at. These things happen when you are as old as I am.

They might fall under the seats or under the floor mats. Or I might put them away(Fat chance of that). Then I pull out my fingernail clipper and cut my leader. These cheap things work for me.
